Vehicle Description
The 993 Turbo Coupe was released in 1995 worldwide with the
exception of the United States. It featured a new turbocharged
engine displacing 3.6 liters producing 402 horse power. Twin
turbochargers and air-to-air intercoolers, electronic engine
management, redesigned cylinder heads and other modified engine
internals were used. The 993 Turbo was the first Porsche Turbo with
all wheel drive. The electronic engine management helped the Turbo
to achieve fuel efficiency far superior to any of the previous
production Turbos. In connection with two catalytic converters and
an on-board-diagnostics-system including four oxygen-sensors, it
also made the 993 Turbo the cleanest sports car at its time. The
Turbo's bodywork differs from the Carrera body by widened rear
wheel arches (approximately 6 cm), redesigned front and rear bumper
moldings, and a fixed rear wing housing the intercoolers. New
18-inch (460 mm) alloy wheels with weight-reducing hollow spokes
were standard.
This was one of the first production cars in the world to have
OBDII diagnostics (the 3.8 liter and track versions didn't have it,
and the normally aspirated 993s didn't get it until 1996). All
turbos since have had water-cooled heads. The car also had brakes
that were larger than those on the base Carrera model.
The production run for the United States was from 1996 through
1997.
